    Summary

    At the beginning of the 20th century, Damiano David found himself homeless in the beautiful city of Venice. Running from his past and trauma and struggling with his survival, he discovered his means of survival by helping out Mister Amadeus, a sick book salesman, around his picturesque second-hand book store. The money was tight and Damiano had to rely on another set of skills to keep his income steady. The flood of tourists in the city allowed him to continue his little life of crime during the summer, but in the dead season of winter, he was forced to cut the costs of his living expenses and find shelter in abandoned buildings. On one such occasion, he found an unexpected inhabitant in one of the supposedly deserted places.
    On top of that, a mysterious stranger returned to Venice and Damiano is weary around his menacing persona.

    Summary

    On a cold night in 1878, Swedish immigrant Berwald Oxenstjärna - armed with a bag of his possessions and his dead sister's son - upon first arriving in London, saves the life of young beggar Tino Väinämöinen.

    Ten years later, the two are partners in a successful small business, running a toy shop with their family. But when people start turning up horrifically murdered, people who've worked their way up in life, like Tino and Berwald, the pair find themselves in a race against time to find the killer before they or someone they love become the next victims.

    And Berwald is determined to do anything for the man he has devoted his life to.

    Summary

    Tino, desperate for a friend, turns to the internet, and might have just met the man of his dreams. But why is this Swede so reluctant to meet him? Let's just say that there's something not quite "right" about Berwald.

    There are a few explicit scenes later on in the story. Starts off in a 'chat' format, but transitions into normal writing.
